Movie Guide
MEWTWO STRIKES BACK



This movie is basically about Mewtwo and the story of Mewtwo, pokémon #150. But, what is a pokémon movie without Ash, Pikachu and the rest of the gang? Not a pokémon movie, so Misty, Brock, their pokémon and of course Team Rocket tag along. Anyway, Mewtwo believes he is the world’s greatest pokémon and pokémon master and wishes to prove it as well as take over the world, so he invites pokémon trainers from all over the world to join him in a challenge on his island. As a test, Mewtwo creates a storm that makes travel close to impossible and only three trainers make it to the island. (Ash, Misty and Brock plus two others)


The long and short of it is, Mewtwo introduces himself, captures all of the trainers pokémon and creates clones of them. Then Mewtwo puts the real pokémon against the clones to see who is stronger. Mew shows up and Mew and Mewtwo begin to battle. All the pokémon are getting damaged (some do not even wish to fight back) and Mew and Mewtwo’s battle is destroying everything in sight. Ash can’t take it anymore, so he jumps in-between Mew and Mewtwo’s blasts, and gets turned to stone.


All the pokémon cry, and their tears bring Ash back to life. Mewtwo realizes that humans aren’t that bad and that taking over the world is not such a good idea. He also realizes that he, and the clones do not belong with around normal human and pokémon. So Mewtwo erases everyone’s memory of the whole ordeal, and Mewtwo, Mew, and all the clones fly off to find a place where they can live in peace.




REVELATIONS OF LUGIA
(POKÉMON THE MOVIE: 2000/THE POWER OF ONE)



This story is about the legendary pokémon Lugia. A collector wants to capture Lugia, but to do so he must first capture Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos and bring them together. It is said in a legend that when all three legendary birds are brought together, Lugia will rise from the sea. It is also said that he will fail to stop the battle and the world will turn to ash. The collector begins by capturing Moltres.

At the same time, the gang is on a boat and have no idea that this is going on. The weather turns bad and they are forced to land on an island where people about to celebrate a festival greet them. When Ash introduces himself, the locals proclaim that he is the chosen one. A girl named Melody is introduced as a key part of the festival. She kisses Ash, angering Misty. Later on, Melody plays a melody on a flute like instruments. Ash finds out that he has to collect three spheres. Ash wants to leave as soon as possible and does, without Misty, Tracy, and Melody.

They reach the island of fire and Ash finds the sphere of fire. Misty, Melody and Tracy show up as well as Team Rocket. Then Zapdos attacks and Pikachu manages to communicate with him. Meowth translates and Zapdos says that Moltres has left so he is here to claim the island as his own. The collector shows up and captures Zapdos and Ash and friends.

                              In the collectors ship, they discover Moltres sealed up as well as the newly captured Zapdos. Ash and his pokémon manage to free them and they escape. In the meantime, the collector is heading for Ice Island and Articuno. The three legendary birds meet and begin to fight. Ash and friends escape the falling vessel and Ash finds the second sphere. Lugia rises from the sea and tries to stop the birds from fighting but fails. Slowking reveals that Ash is the ash from the legend and Ash places the two spheres on a stage. Melody realizes that the melody she plays for the festival is the same melody Lugia makes. She plays it and Lugia is healed and rises again. The third sphere, Ice, is still missing so Ash goes off to the Ice Island to get it. Team Rocket plays good guys and takes Ash to the island.

Ash gets the sphere and they head back to the stage. Lugia offers a ride and Ash and Pikachu get on. Team Rocket does too. Team Rocket realizes that they are slowing Lugia down and let go to save the world. The legendary birds attack Lugia and he falls through the ice, into the water, with Ash and Pikachu still on his back. Pikachu helps Ash but he is unconscious. Misty reveals her true feelings for Ash and Misty and Tracy save Ash. Ash places the third sphere on the stage as Melody begins to play. The melody starts to play and a green liquid appears. Lugia is revived and the legendary birds go to their islands. The world returns to the state it was before. Ash rides Lugia and the world is safe once again.



LORD OF THE UNKNOWN TOWER
(POKÉMON THE MOVIE 3)




Pokemon:Lord of the Unknown Tower(Uncut Japanese Version):
In a mansion outside of a town, a little, 6-year-old girl named Mi-chan is being read a bedtime story about Legendary Pokemon by her father. ::He is reading about Entei::. The phone in her bedroom then rings and her father picks it up(name unknown) and finds that it is his assistant on the other line(he is an archeologist). The assistant informs him that his team has discovered underground ruins(Ruins of Alph) and they want to investigate it the following morning. The father agrees to go and explains this to Mi and about how she'll be alone(her mother mysteriously dissapeared a couple of years before). Mi-chan says that she will be okay.

The next morning at the ruins, the father and his assistant are investigating. The father finds a small chest while his assistant is investigationg the marking on the wall panels. He opens it up and finds small wooden tiles with a different symbol on each one(pictures of the Unknown Pokemon) he takes one from the chest and then the tile starts to glow a blue-ish color. The other tiles in the chest do the same and start to float out of the chest and circle the father, along with the one that was in his hand, at a moderately fast rate. All of a sudden the father disappears and the next thing you see is the father falling into a different dimension. The floating tiles and the chest then fall to the floor. The assistant then starts talking, probably about the marking on the wall, and after noticing that he isnt getting a responce, turns around and starts to panic because the father isn't there anymore.

**Title Introduction**

On the way to the next town, Ash, Misty and Brock encounter a trainer who wants to battle. Ash accepts the challenge and starts to battle with her(opening credits roll during the battle). After he has won, the 3 stop at a local Pokemon Center. At the Pokemon Center, Ash decides to call Professor Oak in Pallet Town(during the conversation you can see Tracey chasing a Pokemon back and forth in the lab in behind Professor Oak in the background). During the Conversation Ash tells Professor Oak the name of the town the are headed to.

***

Back at the mansion, the father's assistant runs in and starts looking for Mi. When he does, he explains to Mi that her father had just disappeared like her mother. Mi is also shocked and asks the assistant to take her to the underground chamber that they were in.

At the ruins, Mi-chan decides to go alone and immediately finds the chest and Unknown tiles scattered across the floor. Mi goes to the floor and touches one. Then the tile starts to glow a blue-ish color like before. All of the tiles scattered across the floor do the same and then they all float to an area a couple of feet away from Mi and start to circle the area the same speed as before. In the middle of the Unknown tiles, appears the legendary Pokemon Entei. Mi-chan recognizes Entei as the Pokemon that her father had told her about the previous night. Entei then uses a Teleportation move and teleports itself and Mi-chan to the masion. When they arrive, crystals/ice surrounds the interior and exterior of the mansion giving it a rather "demonic" look(I cant find another way to explain it.. its not the right word though, just for arguements sake). (Note: Entei is probably some kind of reincarnation of Mi-s father because he can speak (like Meowth of Team Rocket) and Mi-chan calls it 'Papa'). Mi-chan and Entei start a conversation, during the conversation, Mi-chan gets depressed and upset about her mother. Entei then starts talking to Mi and Mi starts to get excited about something, Then Entei Teleports somewhere again.

***

Ash, Misty and Brock are about to enter the next town. They are then surprised to find Professor Oak and Delia(Ash's mother) waiting for them. Meanwhile, during the trip to the town, Team Rocket has been following them. In the forest, you can see Jesse, James and Meowth with those binoculars in their hand. Jesse and James start talking to each other(about how to steal Pikachu). All of a sudden, you see Wobuffet behind Jesse(it escaped from it's Pokeball). Jesse then complains(like Misty usually does when Psyduck does the same) and recalls Wobuffet to its Pokeball.

Back at the town, Ash, Misty, Brock, Professor Oak, and Delia are eating breakfast/lunch. Then, out of nowhere, Entei appears. Entei then does some kind of Hypnosis attack on Delia (you can tell because the white that is usually in her eyes disappeared and is all one color). Delia then goes with Entei and the two teleport off back to the mansion. Ash, Misty, Brock and Professor Oak, after watching in confusion, start to panic (Ash kinda goes a little balistic).

***

Back at the master bedroom the Entei left Mi-chan in, Entei appears with Delia. Mi-chan then gets excited upon her arrival. Entei then explains to Delia and Mi-chan how Delia will take the place of Mi's mother. This deepens the hypnosis and Delia believes this also. (Mi then calls Delia 'Mama' for the rest of the time Deila is with her).

***

Ash, Misty and Brock then run off to find Delia. During the journey, Team Rocket follows them the entire way. Eventually, The 3 find the mansion and try to find a way in, since the crystal blocks every possible entrance. Ash then starts to use his Pokemon to create an entrance by trying to penetrate the crystal with their attacks. Ash first uses Chikoita. Razor Leaf wouldn't work because the crystals would just simply grow back. Ash then uses Tododile, its Water gun attack was more effective. But the Water gun wasnt powerfull enough to keep the the crystal from growing back before everyone could get inside. So Ash decides to use Cyndaquil. He tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower in the same place as Tododile's Water gun. The plan is successful. After everyone got inside, he racalled Tododile and Cyndaquil, after that the wall sealed up.

***

Back at the master bedroom, Mi is playing with Delia. Mi apparently say the word 'Mama' to many times and Delia recovers from the hypnosis only bacause she remembers that she is Ash's mother, not Mi's. She then starts to 'yell softly' at Mi about how she isn't her mother. Mi then starts to cry, it is then when Delia says that she will stay with Mi-chan for the time being, but will have to go back to Ash. It is then when Entei informs Mi that the three trainers had found a way inside. Mi then says that she will see them instead and goes downstairs to look for them.

When Mi encoiunters Ash, Misty and Brock, Ash tells her about what happened to his mom. Mi-chan tells Ash that she's upstairs. But at that moment, the stairs disappeared, and instead, Long, blue tiles stacked up a foot above the other leading to where Delia was. For that instant, Entei must have channeled some of its power to Mi, because Mi was then about 8-10 years older than before. She then starts talking to the 3 saying that they are not allowed to see Delia until they defeat her in a Pokemon battle. A stadium then appears before them. She starts to to talk to them about either becoming a Gym Leader or battling Gym Leaders, something about Gym Leaders. Brock and Misty then tells Ash that since they are Gym Leaders, they will battle Mi, while he goes upstairs. Ash agreesand starts to go upstairs, which is a struggle, because the tiles are floating in midair and are not steady, and because its a long way to the top.

The first to challenge Mi-chan is Misty. Before the battle, she explains things about the qualities of a Gym Leader, etc. But, since Mi is technically only around 6 years old, she doesnt have a Pokemon Trainers liscense yet. se she has to use the power from Entei to 'create' her own lineup of Kanto/Johto Pokemon. Her lineup is Flaaffy, Phanpy, Teddiursa, Kingdra, Mantine(I'm pretty sure).

Team Rocket is outside the mansion trying to fin a way to get in. (I kinda forgot how they actually got in but I'm pretty sure that they swim in the lake near the mansion to enter the mansion from below or something) When they get in, Misty and Mi are already battling. They see the battle as a distraction and start to climb the stairs as well.

Since Misty tells Mi that shes the Cerulean City Gym Leader and specializes in Water types, the stadium was filled with water. I think the two decided on a two on two battle. Mi-chan decides to use Mantine and Kingdra. And Misty uses Goldeen and (I think) Staryu.

After Misty was defeated, She decided to catch up to Ash and started to climb the stairs as well. Brock then challenged Mi. The underwater stadium turned into an outdoor stadium(with a pink sky). Brock also started to talk to Mi and told her he was the Pewter City Gym Leader. They too, have a two on two battle. During the battle, Mi uses Teddiursa and Flaaffy. And Brock uses Vulpix and (either) Onix or Geodude(I forgot).

After the battle, Brock also joined Ash and Misty and started to run up the stairs. Ash has finally made his way to the top along with Misty, Brock and Team Rocket trailing behind them. When Ash finally finds his mom in the bedroom upstairs, they are reunited, but Entei has a major problem about that. A major storm then appears outside.

***

Outside, at a tower (Charicific Valley) you can see Liza, Charla and Ash's Charizard looking at the storm from the tower. Ash's Charizard then looks worried and flies out of the tower towards the mansion.

***

Entei then teleported Delia outside or something. Ash then runs outside trying to go after them. More crystals then appear in random spots outside to get in Ash's way. Entei then starts aiming it's blasts at Ash to keep him away when he catched up to them. He tries to fight back with Pikachu, but the attacks dont work too well. Ash then ends up spending most of his time running away. Since the crystals on the ground are separating Delia from Ash and the others

Out of nowhere, Charizard appears to help Ash. Amazed to see Charizard, Ash explains to it what's going on and Charizard agrees to help. Ash then rides on Charizard's back firing at Entei while flying after it.

While the battle between Ash/Charizard and Entei goes on, Mi-chan, Team Rocket, Delia, Misty and Brock watch the battle in the air.
